Simba SC unsung hereo, James Kotei, once again proved why coach Patrick Aussem chooses him ahead of all the holding midfielders in the team.
The metamorphic midfielder, showed his prowess today against AS Vita Club at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium by shielding the defense of the Msimbadzi Reds which ensured that, the deadly up-front of the Algerian side couldn’t get support from their midfield.
Even though he couldn’t score as usual, his influence at the heart of the Tanzanian side ensured they walked home as 2:1 winners.
Goals from Clatous Chama and Mohammed Hussein were enough for the defending champions of the Tanzanian Premier League side after Kasengu has pulled the visitors in the lead as early as the thirteenth minutes of cagey encounter.
Kotei, who has been consistent in Simba SC Champions League campaign this season, as usual, was the unsung hereo with a brilliant of performance even though he didn’t last the full throttle of the game.
The slim victory, means Simba SC have qualified to the quarter-finals stage of the competition alongside group leaders Al Ahly who accumulated a total of 10 points with Simba amassing 9.
